You’re lucky to have a group.
I’m in a semi-rural area, but none of my nearby neighbors are preppers.
I don’t remember if I’ve mentioned this before, but there’s a book called “The Knowledge” by Lewis Dartnell. I highly recommend it for any prepper! It contains enough information to take a society from the stone age to the pre-nuclear era in a single generation.
Even if you never need to use it, the information contained is fascinating enough to be worth reading just for fun.
Thanks for the post. Do you know if this disease renders the deer unfit for human consumption?
I reside in one of the most low economic areas in rural Missouri, and we have a lot of families that depend on the deer they hunt and kill to feed their families.

I am unsure about human consumption.
The best source would be your State DNR (Division of Natural Resources) , or State DEC (Dept. Environmental Conservation).
What concerns me is that many Preppers figure they can sustain themselves and their families by hunting game.
With the increase of diseases in wildlife, that seems less likely a possibility, or at least, a concern for all hunters and sportsmen.
I was truly surprised by the number of diseases and wildlife affected, since some of these are transmissible to adjoining areas.
Wildlife does NOT respect State borders, so there could be over-flow .

I myself, have always felt that growing one’s own food is the only way to go. Raising a few animals along with a garden is good, if one can manage it.
As with any preparation, having several plans is better than one or none.
